[QUOTE="Jeremiah25, post: 3603381, member: 570469"] I'm not going to go the route of comparing it with a different brand. Quite frankly, that never goes well. As far as how much power to feed it, take your pick. It's a fairly efficient woofer, but built tough enough to take a lot of power. With 1500 watts per woofer, it's not going to do all that it can do, but it would last forever, be very loud, and be nearly impossible to tear up from user error. At 3000 watts per woofer, it would be nasty loud, but the suspension is going to break down much quicker, and it would be subceptible to damage from user error. I ran it for several months with 4800 watts of amp power connected to it for daily use with no failures, but I was also very cautious. If I had ran the amps into full clipping for long periods of time, I believe the woofer would have failed. With 3000 watts, you would be quite a bit safer than how I was running it, so I believe you would be fine. The only advantage to running one woofer is the couple hundred bucks you save up front. The 2 woofers would be better over time. To be honest, I think this woofer would be a hell of a buy at $400-$500 dollars. For the price AQ is charging, I think it's a steal. [/QUOTE]
